Best WLH strike ive seen

Ive never seen her face/head like this before, even the hand on her side looks 3d. The reverse isnt looking as special though:

    Are you sure that's not a proof?

    I wondered if it was and would have rolled the dice if I was buying but if it is someone got a heck of a deal on it in an OGH MS66

    Doesn't look like a proof to me. Very nice strike though!

    What made me think it was 50/50 at best is the weakness on the eagles thigh. Would you agree thats a good diagnostic?

    By today's standards, it might qualify for the coveted PL quality.

    Honestly, I don't know. I was just judging by the overall look and luster of the coin. On proofs, the fields should be more mirrored, imo. But yes, the proof should have had a better strike on the reverse probably.

  • I love that coin!

    Unfortunately only a handful of dates ever come with a strike like that...
